DD1 is in year 1 and has to learn half a dozen spellings a week, writing them correctly in a sentence in class (this week it's people, earth, brought, what, change and friend). She copies them a few times, then writes them out herself without looking. If she gets one wrong, she copies that one again a couple of times and then tries again without looking.
We do this the night before the test, then she looks at them again at breakfast time the next morning. She gets around 4 or 5 out of 6 which I'm happy with but I was wondering if anyone has any better tips for learning spellings?
